Marching Band Schedule & Updates

One more weekend of APA's Fall Musical, Les Miserables! The first three shows went really well. It s truly an amazing production and a credit to all of the departments involved! You don't want to miss it!
We still need a few more parents to volunteer to
feed the Pit Orchestra, and to work at the show.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped all of our departments get through their busy weekend! Football concessions, uniforms and Middle School Night; Competition chaperones, equipment truck drivers, and parent drivers to get our Pit Orchestra back in time for Les Mis; Feeding the orchestra and helping out at the show! There was certainly a lot to do this weekend! We can't do it without you and we are so grateful for your help to show our kids love and support!
This Saturday, our Marching Band and Color Guard will have an exhibition performance at University High School and there is a Les Mis Performance! Luckily, our University High School performance happens much earlier in the day and we should be back with plenty of time before Les Mis.
It certainly is OMG's busy season!
But our community is here to support you
in any way you need!
And don't forget,
"many hands make light work"
and the more we can help and support each other,
the better our program will be
and the easier it will be for all of us!

Additional Notes for Parents and Students-
- On Saturday we got to debut our field show, City of Lights, at our first competition at Costa Mesa HS! The group performed well and it was a great way for new students to get their first big performance under their belts. We will be working hard to learn the rest of the show for our remaining performances in the next couple of weeks.
- This coming Saturday is our second competition at University HS. Because of the Les Mis performance that night, we are going to be performing in exhibition. That means we will get to perform and will receive judges notes and feedback but we won’t receive an award. We will be traveling back to HB right after we perform and load up the trucks.
- Please make sure our marching band competition dates are on your schedule: Oct 12, Oct 19, Nov 2, Nov 9, Nov 16, Nov 23. These performances are extremely mandatory, any potential scheduling conflicts should be communicated as soon as possible. Thank you!!
